According to the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. In 2018, 48,344 Americans died by suicide, and in the same year there were 1.4 million suicide attempts. In this podcast episode, I discuss some statistics associated with suicide in the U.S. and some of the reason I believe drives people to take their lives. In this episode I also discuss what can we do if we suspect someone is dealing with suicidal thoughts.
